Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) have revolutionized the automation of mobile device control through natural language commands, offering solutions for complex user tasks. The conventional approach, “Step-wise GUI agents,” operates by querying the LLM at each GUI state for dynamic decision-making and reflection, continuously processing the user’s task, and observing the…
Text-to-audio generation has transformed how audio content is created, automating processes that traditionally required significant expertise and time. This technology enables the conversion of textual prompts into diverse and expressive audio, streamlining workflows in audio production and creative industries. Bridging textual input with realistic audio outputs has opened possibilities in applications like multimedia storytelling, music,…
Generative AI has revolutionized video synthesis, producing high-quality content with minimal human intervention. Multimodal frameworks combine the strengths of generative adversarial networks (GANs), autoregressive models, and diffusion models to create high-quality, coherent, diverse videos efficiently. However, there is a constant struggle while deciding what part of the prompt, either text, audio or video, to pay…
Large language models (LLMs) have become pivotal tools in tackling complex reasoning and problem-solving tasks. Among them, o1-like models, inspired by OpenAI’s o1 architecture, have shown a unique ability to emulate human-like, step-by-step reasoning. However, a notable inefficiency in these models is “overthinking.” This refers to the tendency to expend unnecessary computational resources on trivial…
Data mining is vital for uncovering meaningful patterns and relationships within large datasets. These insights enable informed decision-making across diverse retail, healthcare, and finance industries. A key technique in this domain is association rule mining, which identifies correlations between variables in relational data, aiding applications such as customer behavior analysis, inventory optimization, and personalized recommendations.…
Federated learning has emerged as an approach for collaborative training among medical institutions while preserving data privacy. However, the non-IID nature of data, stemming from differences in institutional specializations and regional demographics, creates significant challenges. This heterogeneity leads to client drift and suboptimal global model performance. Existing federated learning methods primarily address this issue through…
Sequential recommendation systems play a key role in creating personalized user experiences across various platforms, but they also face persistent challenges. Traditionally, these systems rely on users’ interaction histories to predict preferences, often leading to generic recommendations. While integrating auxiliary data such as item descriptions or intent predictions can provide some improvement, these systems struggle…
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have become a cornerstone in computer vision, offering strong performance and adaptability. However, their large size and computational demands create challenges, particularly for deployment on devices with limited resources. Models like FLUX Vision Transformers, with billions of parameters, require substantial storage and memory, making them impractical for many use cases. These limitations…
Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences is an essential task in artificial intelligence research. However, current reinforcement learning (RL) methods face notable challenges. Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and similar techniques often demand extensive online sampling, which can lead to high computational costs and instability. Offline RL methods like Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) avoid…
Creating intelligent agents has traditionally been a complex task, often requiring significant technical expertise and time. Developers encounter challenges like integrating APIs, configuring environments, and managing dependencies—all of which can make building these systems both daunting and resource-intensive. Simplifying these processes is critical for democratizing AI development and expanding its accessibility. Hugging Face Introduces SmolAgents:…
